Exactly what I expected!

We needed more space. We consider wood prefab, and it’s still kind of a toss up! by time you build wood foundation or pour concrete. prefab wood comes with that and makes is easier to relocate if you want to take the shed with you. We had concrete poured and i dont know if i’d build one this big again! I’d say it takes good 13-18 hours to build. I’d suggest download app Bilt and type in the model number, also watch few install videos on youtube. We messed up the floor lay down and put up back walls till we realize why the door holes weren’t lining up. Also short doors poles for side door, long poles for the end doors! We messed up the doors, and not feasible to disassemble the other doors just for one pole, Customer service was very nice and easy to work with like other comments. My John Deer 42” with bagger fits in the end door and has plenty of room. As I mentioned very time consuming, and need to understand how it’s assembled first. allow 12-18 hours, most of work can be done by one person, but some items due require 2 people. Seems like a great product, and won’t require any maintenance. Check out the BILT app. I still feel as though worth the money saved vs other options.

Great so far!

Started opening the cartons to discover a defective wall panel. Talked to customer support who got back to us in a timely manner. Zachary and another sales rep spoke to us and we received the replacement panel in less than 4 days. While waiting have been assembling what I can and have been following the manual by the letter. Great instructions and easy to navigate as long as you take it step by step. I feel we are getting a quality shed from a reputable company who stands by their products with a great support/sales rep team.

Intense assembly. High quality shed.

Beautiful shed. High quality and heavy duty materials. Very difficult to get corners in place, and skylight peak is very fragile and nearly impossible to install in one piece. The roof was also very difficult to assemble. You 100% need multiple people to install. We were told it would take 2 adults 3 days to assemble and this is correct! We thought that was a ridiculous timeframe but on day 3 of blood, sweat and tears (not an exaggeration) it finally all came together. It's definitely worth the price and efforts.

Flat means flat

Shed is great - but you need a perfectly FLAT 20 ft long surface, or you'll have issues with the last roof pieces. There is a gottcha, for the floor (where the mid doors are) - not well explained in the docs. I also had to use some shimms under the roof to get the mid doors to fit right. All in all, good shed.

Might be solid shed, but instructions are disaster

Shed might be decent quality but the assembly instructions are horrendous!! I am extremely handy and very capable of following assembly instructions. But the directions here were horrible. I've built Cheap furniture from China that has better instructions and labeling than this Shed does.....shameful coming from an American company.

great shed and great after sale service

I bought this lifetime shed 7 years ago. The skylight on roof top began leaking half year ago when raining. I called lifetime recently, and was told they would ship me a new skylight for free of charge. The customer service gentleman is really very nice and friendly. I am very satisfied lifetime product and service. Cathy, Toronto, Ontario

Great Shed Planning required for easy assembly

This the the 2nd lifetime shed I have purchased. Won't buy any other!!! The best way to simplify installation is: 1) prepare your level pad(concrete, wood platform, patio stones, etc) 2) pre-assemble the roof trusses, doors, windows, etc. 3) Assemble on site. A helper is a must. We(2 of us) installed the shed in 4-5 hours. The prep work took 3-4 hours total. I spread it across 2 or 3 evenings Again, installation is NOT hard or as difficult as some of these reviewers are suggesting. Planning and proper prep is the key. Save your money, do it yourself!!
